[Ab] guys, Clay here for another Riff in a Minute video.
And as you [Bm] guys saw in the intro, it's [Bbm] another request week [Abm] and I'm finally listening to
ScavengerX who's been [B] telling me to do some Marcus Miller for a while now.
So [Ab] that's what I'm doing, it's time to take [B] a look at Detroit.
[Bbm] But first of all guys, if it's your [B] first time checking [Ab] out the channel, I do regular
based videos [Bb] and lessons.
So make sure you hit that subscribe button and [Abm] if you're already a subscriber make sure
you ring that bell and [B] enable alerts so you don't [Bbm] miss out on anything.
Now [Abm] with that out of the way, today's lesson is about the main [B] 8 bar slap [Bbm] riff at the start
of the song.
[B] It's an absolute [Ab] beast of a slap riff and it does [B] use a little bit [Bbm] of double thumbing technique.
If [Abm] you're unfamiliar with how to use double thumbing slap technique, [B] I will do a [Bbm] video
for that in the near future.
[Abm] But for now, search on YouTube, double thumbing technique, Victor Wooten and find out how
to do it from the man himself.
Now I'm going to put up a small legend right here, [E] check it out to help make [Fm] sense of all
the different [Ab] articulations used in this song.
So let's give it a go.
[B] Go grab your bass, [Bbm] start the clock and let's get [G] slapping. _

[Bbm] _ _ [Abm] Ok guys so that's it.
Phew, [B] what an epically cool [Bbm] slap riff that one is.
[B] Now if you find [Ab] yourself wondering why is it that that bass line [B] sounds so much cooler
and more interesting than other [Ab] bass lines or even your own playing, [B] well it's all to
[Bbm] do with his [Abm] phrasing and rhythmic displacement.
Have a look at the notation again [Bb] and see how many times he [Abm] actually lands any notes
or starts any phrases on a downbeat.
It's actually hardly ever and the riff is all about the Es and the Rs [B] of the count.
That's what makes [Bbm] this slap riff so good [B] to listen to over and over [Ab] again is that it's
not just cool sounding, but it's [Bb] actually rhythmically [Abm] captivating.
It musically hooks you in in more [B] ways than one.
I'll do a [Bbm] lesson on slap technique in the [B] near future and explain some of [F] this clearer
but for now guys if you enjoyed this video make sure you leave a like [Abm] and let me know
in the comment section what riff you guys want me to do [B] next time.
Remember the more requests I see [Abm] for a particular song the more chances I will bump it up the
list and do your [Bb] song next.
And make sure to keep an eye out for my next technique lesson.
But that's all for this week [C] guys so until next time go play, practice and play some more.
